Ask your QuestionI am needing my bathroom light pull cord replaced and have been told that as the existing one is about 2 inches up into the ceiling the electrician will not do it. Is this correct? As surely it can still be removed and a new one fitted?

"This is a simple task and any good electrician could do this quick and efficiently. I’m under the assumption he can’t be bothered. There’s no regulation saying that he can’t do this.

"It may hard to replace but I imagine it could still be replaced but if it is above the ceiling there may some damage trying to bring it to the ceilings surface to install the new pull cord, but I do imagine it can be done.
